Lesson Plan
1) Math: Students can explore the concept of ratios and proportions when discussing
the composition of mixtures and substances.
3) Social Studies: Students can explore how different cultures and societies utilize
mixtures and substances in their daily lives.
Engage:
2) Idea - Divide the class into small groups and give each group a mystery box
containing different items. Students will discuss and predict whether each item is a
mixture or a substance based on their properties.
Explore:
Instructions:
2) Have students use a magnet to separate the iron filings from the mixture.
3) Provide students with water and filter paper. Instruct them to pour the mixture
through the filter paper to separate the sand from the mixture.
Assessment Questions:
1) What method did you use to separate the iron filings from the mixture?
1) Provide each group with two beakers, one containing sugar and the other
containing salt.
2) Instruct students to add water to each beaker and stir until the substances
dissolve.
3) Ask students to observe and compare the properties of the sugar solution and the
salt solution.
Assessment Questions:
1) How did the sugar solution and the salt solution differ in terms of their properties?
2) What happened to the sugar and salt when they were mixed with water?
Instructions:
1) How did you categorize the pictures or cards into mixtures and substances?
2) What properties did you consider when making your concept map?
Explain:
Elaborate:
Task 1: Students are given a scenario where they need to identify the mixture
and substance present in a given situation. They will analyze the properties of
the materials involved and provide a scientific explanation for their choices.
Task 2: Students will conduct a science experiment to create their own mixture
and substance. They will document the process, observe the properties of the
materials, and explain how they determined whether it is a mixture or a
substance.
Evaluate:
Question 2: Describe the properties you observed when comparing the sugar
solution and the salt solution.
Question 3: How did you categorize the pictures or cards into mixtures and
substances? What properties did you consider?
